WSSL-FM (100.5
WSSL-FM is a
History
The first station at 100.5 MHz in the Greenville-Spartanburg market was WDXY-FM, a sister station to WORD 910 AM in Spartanburg. It was owned by the Spartanburg Radiocasting Company and launched in 1948.[2] But with few people owning FM receivers in that era, the owners saw little opportunity to make the station profitable. The company turned in the license after a few years.
A new station
WGXL was sold in the early 1980s to the Keymarket Group, which flipped the station to country music in September 1981. The call letters became WSSL-FM.
In August 2000, the station was acquired by Capstar.
